My mother keeps secrets like a ghost
I ask her what her parents were like
She says that she doesn't know
I find that hard to believe
If someone asked me to describe her, I'd recall everything
Mommy liked fried chicken, mommy liked to eat slow
Mommy said the best part of leaving was to come home
Mommy never laughed when the joke wasn't funny
Mommy gave me jars of orange blossom honey
Please, tell me what makes this life mine
Maybe it is obvious, but can you explain one more time?
If I am the kin of my kin
Where do my parents end and where do I begin?
Daddy always worked hard, daddy always woke up
Earlier than everybody else, he didn't sleep much
Daddy always wanted everyone to like him
I think I'm just like him, I think I'm just like him
Mommy liked fried chicken, mommy liked to eat slow
Mommy said the best part of leaving was to come home
Mommy never laughed when the joke wasn't funny
